Greetings hoarders!

Bring out the confetti, we just unlocked the stretch goal, and ALL backers will now get a Gilded Dragons postcard ^_^



Not only did we unlock this stretch goal we are SOOOOO close to unlocking the Limited Edition 3D dragon! We only need another $378!!! If you convert that into pins, that is only 16 pins you guys or only 6 hardcover art books!!! Whether we can convice 16 new hoarders to join us, or if we can get a few upgrades from existing backers, this epic little guy is totally within reach! But we only have 2 hours left!!! 😳 Can we do it in these final hours? 



As an added incentive to anyone who upgrades their pledge to 3+ pins (or anyone already with 3+ pins) I will add a signed bookwyrm postcard to their pledges!  

But hurry, the clock is ticking and this dragon may slip through the cracks! Lets unlock this final dragon and make our hoards exta shiny!

Back now and grow your hoard!




Your fellow hoarder,

Therena

Greetings Hoarders,

Exciting news! And just in time for the final few hours, too! 

3D Limited Edition Moon Dragon Pin tier

In case you missed my previous update, I had just revealed a brand new tier which includes the limited edition 3D Moon Dragon pin. I had come across a secret trove of 25 of these pins in my market storage and decided to add it to the campaign instead of hoarding it for my covacon market. 

✨🌟To be clear, the 3D Moon dragon pins have always and will always be a limited edition of ONLY 100 pins. 🌟✨

I am not reprinting these ever again. These pins are simply forgotten stock I discovered while going through my market stuff this morning. So if you joined us later in the campaign, and thought you missed out, here is your chance to snag one of these!

Now on to the other exciting news!

GOLD FOIL on the GILDED DRAGON HARDCOVER ARTBOOK!

One of the printers I use for my art books just released gold foil for their hardcovers! And guess who is a sucker for shiny gold foil? 🙋‍♀️Yup, that would be me. And after pricing everything out, I decided that I would upgrade all the hardcover art books to have gold foiling details on the cover!!!

You may not be able to see it, but I had already added golden elements to the cover. Now they will just be extra shiny ^_^

But wait, there is more! I am also considering adding a black ribbon to the book! Oh, and a dust jacket with gold foil!


Now that is shiny!

So not only will the hardcover be signed (exclusive to in-person events & campaigns) & numbered (exclusive to this campaign), and feature over 8 new pages of content and art, but it has just received a shiny new coat of epic features! 


So add this artbook to your add-ons and add this gorgeous artbook to your hoard. Not only will this be the best price you will ever get for it (as I will have to raise it everywhere else due to these fancy new features), but you will also help us inch closer to those final two stretch goals! 

This has been an interesting final 48 hours of the campaign in that we haven't seen the typical spike in pledges I anticipated. Which means I need your support to unlock these designs, because I really want to get them made! I'm not going to lie, I really want to add this 3D pin to my own hoard, but it isn't something I can pay for out of pocket. I also decided that I will increase the golden glitter dragon to 1" vs .75" if we can get those new backers over the next half a day!

So how can you help?


If you haven't backed yet, you can help us get those extra backers we need by pledging before this campaign ends! These are the lowest prices you will see for my pins anywhere! And you only have 17 hours left!



You can share this project with anyone you think will love dragons and dragon artbooks, pins or pillows! (Copy this link!)

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/therena/gilded-dragons/?ref=BackerREFERRAL

Or, if you have already pledged, you can add more pins to your hoard, or snag one of those limited 3D pin tiers!!! 

So, exactly what bonuses do you get with your pledges right now?


FREE sticker (everyone)
FREE Gilded Dragons postcard (First 300 backers)
FREE Celestial dragon pin (anyone who backed both my and my partners campaign)
FREE random Dragon postcard (Earlybirds)
FREE exclusive returning backer postcard (Returning backers)

and if we hit 300 backers a FREE glitter Guardian (for 3+ pin tiers).

Plus all the pins and goodies of your pledge.

Lets release these last two dragons! And make this the shiniest hoard we can together!

Yours in art,
Therena

PS: You should be able to just switch from any tier to the limited new tier now as long as they are available! They are already 20% claimed, so don't miss out!


🐉🌟I just discovered a treasure hoard! If you like the 3D moon Dragon pin, you will want to read this update before 4pm PST today!🌟🐉

Greetings hoarders!

You will never believe what I discovered this morning as I was busy cleaning out my in-person market stock in preparation for covacon (Our local comicon) next weekend. A bag full of 25 of the limited edition 3D moon dragon pins! I had thought they were all sold as I only had 50 in my storage. But it was like discovering a whole hoard of treasure when I stumbled upon them!

Since you guys have been the most supportive backers when it comes to my pins, I decided that instead of hoarding those for my event, I will make them available as its own 3-pin tier.

I made a hidden/secret tier which I will make public this afternoon to give you guys the first opportunity to snag one of these last remaining pins since you have supported me from the start! 

✨🌟To be clear, the 3D Moon dragon pins have always and will always be a limited edition of ONLY 100 pins. 🌟✨

I am not reprinting these ever again. These pins are simply forgotten stock I discovered while going through my market stuff. So if you joined us later in the campaign, and thought you missed out, here is your chance to snag one of these pins! But don't wait, I am making this tier public at 4pm PST tonight.  


Don't wait! These pins will go fast!

Hopefully this bring a smile to some of you today as it made me smile upon my discovery! Who knew cleaning out your hoard would feel like discovering a shiny new treasure ^_^

Happy hoarding!

Therena

PS: You might have to cancel your current pledge to back at this pledge. However, you should retain all rewards like early bird and returning backer. If for any reason you don't see those and feel like you should, please reach out to me and I will manually add them!

Are you partial to gunmetal or gold? Only 36 hours to go! Help us unlock the final stretch goals!
7 months ago – Tue, Apr 16, 2024 at 06:26:52 PM

Greetings hoarders,

With only 36 hours to go I wanted to share some exciting news.
 


The first postcards have arrived, and they are gorgeous! The first 300 backers will get one once we hit $9500! 


Plus, I just got more mock ups for the book wyrm from my manufacturer! I'm thinking that I should make all 3 books glitter. 🤔 What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!


I love them both! So I need your help deciding. I'm partial to the gunmetal, but then I close my eyes and fall in love with the gold metal.  

So I had this crazy idea...what if we unlocked both versions at $11,111. 🤔 (Because that would be such a fun number to hit!)

I also think if we did unlock the gold one, I would change the book colours slightly to match the golden tones better. 

In the meantime, let me know which ones you like in the poll! There's a few open polls you can vote on as well under the community tab! As well as results from previous polls!

Don't forget to check out the brand new ALL in tier! And yes, that tier would get both versions if it unlocks!



Don't miss out on these shiny dragons! Back today and help unlock all the final stretch goals! We are so close to getting the next 2!

Thank you everyone who has already supported this campaign! Let's push past these final hours. Share the campaign with your dragon hoarders, and add  ore pins to your hoard! And if you have been waiting to see which designs unlocked, here's your chance to help bring the last few to the hoard!



Yours in art & hoarding,
Therena

Only 48 hours left to adopt these dragons! NEW ALL-IN TIER! New flash stretch goals & more. Let's make these dragons soar and bring them all home! Your hoard needs all these shinies!

Greetings hoarders and dragons,

I can't believe that we are approaching the final 48 hours of the campaign! It has been such a thrilling ride and I am so grateful to every one of you who has supported this campaign and this dream of mine.

I am so pleased with the campaign. In fact, I decided to do a flash goal and offer a FREE Gilded Dragon postcard to the first 300 backers when we hit $9500! I loved the way the pins looked together so much; I went ahead and printed a postcard with all of them on it! 



I have also been thinking long and hard about the last two stretch goals as we enter the final days of the campaign. I really want them both to unlock, and if the campaign strikes a typical trajectory, we should definitely unlock the 3D limited Edition pin at $10,000. However, we still need 75 new backers to unlock the Golden Glitter Guardian pin. And who knows where that will land us in terms of funds?

So, I thought, why don't I unlock the design at 250 backers, but only offer it for FREE to 3+ tiers at 300? That way we can unlock ALL the stretch goals and dragons! And there is still a chance at 3+ tiers getting it FREE when we get enough backers in these final hours!


This means we are only 25 backers away from unlocking the glitter guardian! So share this campaign with all your friends, family, coworkers, book clubs, whatever. Lets unleash all the dragons and grow our hoards together!

And you can help unlock the postcard and 3D limited Edition dragon pin by increasing your pledge and adding more pins, postcards & books to your hoard!

In fact, I have just made an all in pin tier. With this tier you get the greatest value! Plus a FREE glow in the dark "Kiss Goodnight" pin from my last campaign!
 

So, if you have been eyeing all those pins, now is your chance to get them all!
I didn't make this tier early in the campaign because I had no idea that you guys loved dragons as much as I do and that we would unlock them all!

So bring out the dragons and lets soar to the finish line in epic draconic fashion!




Yours in art & hoarding,
Therena
